We're planning to start working on it in January, and I think we can get the first version out in late February. If you know good senior Android engineers, send them my way! (charles@bunch.ai, no CV required, let's just chat)

It's definitely not going to be as fast & efficient as doing an MBA for sure, but our mission is to keep the app free for everyone, and even if you're only improving 1% every day, you're still setting yourself on track to have much better soft skills in a couple months

we tried really hard to bridge the UIKit one, but had some bugs & crashes due to the PageController (the dots underneath). I think it is caused by the fact that a same SwiftUI @State is used by 2 UIKit "bridged" controllers, and is not operated in a thread safe way. So we ended up building it from scratch ourselves, in SwiftUI :)

we are targeting iOS13 as minimum. For us it works right now, when we were running a no-code MVP before building the app, we saw that our target audience seems to be quite tech-y and tends to have the latest devices. So we knew our early adopters wouldn't too much issues, and that once the app becomes a bit more "mass market", then iOS 13 adoption would be a lot better (something we might achieve maybe next year)

thanks! we actually spent 3 years of iterations (on other products) until we reached that model. It seems to work quite well with people, as well as being on solid psychological science foundations

The learning curve was quite easy (when we started building it, no one in the dev team had experience with iOS before). Architecture wise, it fits _really well_ with functional reactive programming (RxSwift or Combine + MVVM). And a lot of things like animations are very straightforward to do.

The downside is whenever you want to do something quite standard in UIKit that doesn't exist yet in SiwftUI. The "carousel" that we have at the start of the app is a UIPageViewController in UIKit, but we had to re-implement it ourselves in SwiftUI.

Also there are weird bugs and crashes. A lot. I think in the end, the productivity gain from SiwftUI evens out to the same productivity as UIKit due to the time spend on those bugs/limitations.

We also planned to build widgets very soon, and having the same code base (they are SwiftUI only) is definitely going to be a plus.

Like many devs, I somehow ended up managing a small team.

I’ve had bad bosses before, so I found myself wondering things like:

- How do I run a 1:1?

- What do I do when someone has issues?

- How do I avoid the mistakes I’ve seen made by other managers?

But the answers tend to be hard to find. So about a year ago, our team at Bunch set out to make it easier.

Our goal was to combine micro-learning (bite-sized, actionable advice), personalisation (using goal-setting and a content recommender), a leadership competency model (my co-founder is an org. Psychologist), and a bit of gamification to make it more fun (RPG style “leadership personas”).

We’re hoping this will make leadership skills (aka people skills for managers) more accessible. We have launched it for free on iOS, and working on an Android version.

Would love to hear thoughts from HN on our approach and this direction! Also would love to hear ideas for improving UX and the content recommendations. Soaking up as much feedback as possible.

PS: We built it with SwiftUI, if you have questions about how it went, feel free to ask!

Our team is on a mission to enable anyone to become a great leader. The amount of knowledge that exist in psychology research about leadership and teams is mind blowing, but surprisingly enough, almost none of it is used on a daily basis: in your sprints, stand-ups, one-on-ones or performance feedback.

We want to change that.

You might have never experienced the intersectionality of being both. In any case, is it really yours to judge? Anyways, your comment is precisely the point I'm making: most people working on these projects are not necessarily aware of the underlying issues that people actually suffer from. They under play some, simply because they have not experienced it. Not complaining though, this is better than not doing anything, but we need to setup better ways to pull-in more diversity on these projects.

Fag##t is also not censured. It is one of the core problems: Not enough diverse people involved in those projects, and the outcome is showing that the only thing "wrong" in calling someone "f###ing fag##t n#####r" is the first word, the two other ones are "fine" or "depends on context" as other mentioned in this thread. Go thoughts and intention, but needs support on execution.

I share the same feeling, even though didn't own an iPad before (I knew I needed something with less limitations). The new tablet mode they did is better (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/08/29/annou...), however the biggest deal breaker for me _is_ the on-screen keyboard. Try using Slack in tablet mode, it's impossible: every time you go to a channel, the on screen keyboard pops-up, the animation to open/close takes 2-3 seconds each time: it's frustrating to the point I just plug the keyboard back on and use the surface in laptop mode.

turns out the article is mostly focused on US restaurants; but I agree, German street food is not complete without a Pislner.

Maybe just adjust to title to avoid generalization. "Why Restaurants Are So Fucked in the US". Showing awareness goes a long way.

Wait, $11 for a Doner? It's 3.5 EUR here in Berlin, and there's 2 Doner shops at EVERY corner. Maybe the issue not just the restaurant price, but also the underlying system that (doesn't) support them? Even if you double the price, at 7EUR (which is typically needed when comparing things like Salary between EU/US), there's still a large difference. I'd be curious to know how German Doner shops are doing, and what are their unit economics.

100% agreed, that's what I meant by "I think the issue is not about part time, but the commitment itself". We very often try to rationalize things that are more "felt" (sense of commitment) to more tangible things.

In this case, the author might feel that the person is not committed, and might attribute it to the part time as way to reason/explain that feeling that the other person isn't committed. Chances are, they would most likely feel the same if the person was full time. If the person was highly committed, they wouldn't even start to rationalize this way about part time, and it'd be a no-brainer decision to hire them and make it work.

Controversial opinion but learned through experience the hard way here, repeatedly proven, anyone that you feel "like lack of commitment from him could possibly influence our culture in a negative way", just pass (at least until you have product market fit or a repeatable business running). As soon as shit hits the fan, they will either leave or drop performance, and you will have to let them go.

In your case, I think the issue is not about part time, but the commitment itself. If it's your first hire, you need them to be on-board, and contrary to what most people say, have more expectations than people would for a "normal" employee. The truth is, that person is not a normal employee, it's the first hire in a very early stage business. If you treat that hire as a regular employee, you will build expectations and won't be able to live up to it, and it will backfire for both of you 6-8 months down the road. That will hurt your ability to build a core team, and you will have to start from scratch.

Do not give up on that, no matter what the popular opinion tells you. Most people are not founders, and you should trust the guts that you have about building your core team.

It is a bit strange, they mention that write keys have been accessed, but they don't seem to have invalidated them, or even recommend to update them?

  Information about how Segment customers interact with different aspects of our product, 
  *including customer write keys for Segment*, integration names, workspace names, 
  and how customers interact with our user interface.

Same here, I had 3 recurring events about an iPhone X sale or some other spam come in my calendar in the past 2 weeks.

now that I think of it, this might be the reason I actually decided to go for a blackberry key 2. I knew the keyboard was better for me somehow, just couldn't really pinpoint why.

The zune.

compare that with all their Windows and OSX user base, I guess it is less common filesystems.

Crazy that this has been around in .NET for so many years, and it just lands now in nightly builds for JS. It's part of the reasons that make .NET Core quite viable (for Backend) now that we can run on Docker. The tooling around debugging and profiling are so far ahead compared to other languages.
